Maryhill Barracks
Walcheren Barracks is located adjacent to the former site of Maryhill Barracks, which was built on the Garrioch Estate in 1872, replacing the previous Infantry Barracks at Duke Street in the East End, which dated from 1795. Maryhill Barracks became the depot of the Highland Light Infantry (City of Glasgow) regiment after the Childers Reforms of 1881. It also famously held Hitler's second-in-command Rudolf Hess during World War Two after his supposed "Peace" flight to the UK. Maryhill Barracks was closed and largely demolished in 1960, to be replaced by the Wyndford Housing estate, although the guardroom and boundary walls remain.
